Rare to see a 5.7d running I thought Almost everyone replaced those with a big block

I once bought an oldsombile 5.7 diesel truck from and old man and he game me 7 extra 5.7 olds diesel motors for parts

[johnhall]

What are the dimensions on the exhaust??? Like length and diameter of the pipe

Hi i have the 5.7 litre v8 Diesel is there any way i can stop alternator belt squealing i have tried everything its squealing at the fan pulley

When you have no turbo on your diesel, a straight pipe makes it sound fairly close to a gas engine.

Needs an X-pipe or some kind of crossover to stop the clappiness

They sound pretty cool. Too bad they couldnt iron out the issues and save them.

[brianpfouts]

Sounds pretty sweet and to be honest I would take a 5.7 olds diesel over a new lm2 or lz0 3.0 duramax pile of garbage they put in the 1500 what they call a truck now

[MegaDysart]

damn revs all the way up to 2200 farts per minute
